About

I have over 20 years of hands-on experience with Product Development as a Software Practitioner and Leader, now focused on bridging AI innovation with computational accuracy in health technology. Throughout my career, from Oracle and Yahoo to founding multiple startups including BetterMenu and bonsaiilabs, I've specialized in building robust software systems that deliver both cutting-edge user experiences and mission-critical accuracy. My expertise includes leveraging large language models and embeddings for assistive interfaces and frictionless insights while ensuring all business-critical health calculations rely on proven, code-driven systems for accuracy and regulatory compliance including FDA and FSANZ standards. This approach has enabled startups I've advised to raise multiple million-dollar seed rounds by demonstrating both innovation and reliability to investors. At BetterMenu, we're revolutionizing how businesses approach AI implementation—using AI where it excels (assistive interactions, insights, frictionless user experience) and traditional computation where precision matters (health calculations requiring accuracy).
